Potatoes Tor Now York.

"How many potatoes DO we eat in q
year?" was asked of prominent Wes.-side
dealer by a reporter of The Sun. "Some
experts say that it takes 100000 barrels
or, say, as many ss would load $50 freight
trains of twenty-five cars each, or fleet of
81 ordinary potato schooners," "And
where do they all come fromH wash
ington county" This answer was only IN
tended to convey the idea that Washington
county was the chief source of supply. II
Is commonly believed that the entire space
from Fort Tconderoga to Eagle Bridge,
and from Fort Edward to the eastern most
confines of the town of Hebron is but one
vast potato-patch. The crop began to come
forward about week ago. The Troy aud
Albany steamers had small consiguments
of from 800 to 500 barrels each. This week
they will begin to do some business. They
will have to handle anywhere from 1000
to 600 barrels every day at each landing
in this city. "Will they break thu market?"
was asked. Not break. OF course,
prices weaken little. We aversgss$1 IS
barrel wholesale now, and we
will get perhaps 81 60, maybe as low
as 81. so then. The crop in Ohio and west
of that State is short, and many potatoes
usually shipped this way must go west. I
expect potatoes to go west even from Rooh-
ester. The quality OF the crop is superior
THIS year, anu Oh J0hL dCCOuuL DI1CoS dT6-
say 5 cents q barrel-higher. What do
you think of man getting $50 bushels to
the acre, and selling them for more than q
dollar a busbel? Well. Long Island farm
eIS raised that many, but q Washington
county man thinks he'll buy his wife a
silk dress and his daughter a piano if he
gets $50 bushels from an acre" "HoT
much does he get for his 25o bushels?"
about 35 cents on the average. The
dealers up there buy them to be delivered
at the nearest river port or railroad station.
Then the freight is from 10 to 20 cents q
barrel. OF course we have to have a com
mission for selling them, and the truck
man has to get something for carrying them
from the pier to the store. That is how
the farmer gets about half as much for q
barrel as We get. But then 200 bushels Oh

Stock water.
Western Agriculturalist.


In these days OF general drought and
scarcity of stock water on many farms,
there is heard occasionally a longing for
stock ponds as means of water supply.
Good stock ponds. however. are almost en-
tiTely things of Imagination rather than of
fact Could they be kept throughout the
summer in as good condition as they usual
IL are earlier in the season, before the tile
drains that feed them have quit running,
or while the spring and summer showers
help keep them fresh and living. they
might be worth having. Usually stock
ponds in times of severe drought are worse
than useless. II rot completely drie Up,
they sre either miserable mud holes or
basins of warm, stagnsnt water, fit
places only for the breeding OF
disease-germs that have been car
drainage from surrounding pastures. To
have the surface-wate from the pastures
go into stock ponds is bad enough, but
what of the ponds so located as to receive
the drainage from the stable aud feed lots
also? Such ponds particularly are posi-.
tive damage to the country and nuisance
on farms where any pretensions are made
TO the proper keeping of domestic amin ais.
Good wells are always to be preferred TO
either stock ponds or streams. The latter
are too often, in dry seasons, only muddy
sloughs, or no better than ponds of stag
nans water. There is no insurance against
the loss of farm animals from disease more
economical or more safe than may be had
by the sinking OF wells from which good
supplies of pure water can be drawn as
needed. Whatever the farmers and feed.
ers may be prompted by the experience
OF the present season to do for securing
better supplies of water, may they not re-
sort to the building OF any more of the
miserable stock ponds that always bring
disappointment, disease or death whenever
depended on for stock water in dry
| weather.

LAWYERS OF ST, LOUIS.

HOW DO They All Make Living e-Vait
Ing for . Client.
There are about 500 LAWYERS In III. c;tc
OF st. Louis. It would appear. thonrh
looking over the records Of The conrta
that the legal business for 400. 600 neonls
is done by about 100 men. The lnwvrrs
who have the important cases in corr,
can easily be counted, and any one walk
ing along the streets down town. seeing
whole big buildings apparently filed with
lawyers, hearing lawyers signs c,pakinv
everywhere, Is struck with tho question:
"How do all these lawyers make e Hying.''
There are IN the neighborhCpl Of 400
lawyers IN st. Louis who have apDerentl,.
no visible means Of support. There are
lawyers who draw large salaries from cor
Porotaons who arc comparatively un-
known; there are Office lawyers whom no
one hears OF outside the profession, though
IN u tney have regulations greater than
the fellows who figure in the newspapers.
1neSe men are the ones who delve among
the authorities and pick out the fine points
OF law, and who trace back old laws and
ordinances to the beginning, that flows
may bo found. When they are found.
some lawyer with reputation Is giyer,
them; they are sprung on the court like
bombshell, and carried to the higher courts
and dtlated upon. Meanwhile the old
burrower Is digging and probing away for
other points, and tho leading member of
the bar Is leading gay Nfe aud rcaping
all the hono,s, his exertion being no more
than reciting Il lesson he has learned, No.
body ever hears Of tho old John Burleys.
the production of whose brains arc stolen
by tho Randall Leslies Of the bar, while
they are content to receive units of tho
hundreds Of dollars tho others obtain in
fees,
There is then another class Of LAWYERS
who seem to hang out their signs and have
their cards printed for no other purpose
than to get beyond the provisions Of the
vagrancy act. These are the dude lawyers
young fellows who .lwaya have lounges
in their offices that they may turn in and
sleep upon If out too late to go home to
the fond parents, who pay their office ront
and keep then, in goOd clothes. They
never have q case ii, conrt, and wouldn't
know what to do with it ii they got one.
They spend their summers In going to
base ball games and steamboat excursions,
and their winters in billiard rooms or
roller rinks. Again, there arc tho poor
young lawyers, who wear ont their pants
waiting for clients who never come, and
their heads in hoping against hops, and
their minds in dreaming If what they
would do in the event of getting a case
